Pharaohs... (like everyone on this board wouldn't be able to guess that already.)

SB is overrated, and overpriced for what it is.

I've never tried pharohs before. I've always been a SB fan. But the price is just killing me. I've been looking around the forum and reading up, people here seem to like pharohs a lot, so last night I went ahead and picked up some pharoh, i picked up apple martini and strawberry. In addition to that, I also picked up some Similey's Sexy since I've been hearing lots about that shisha also. I hope these are as good as they sound on here.

Smiley's Sexy
Pharoh
Tangerine

Here are the flavors I've tried from each brand:

Starbuzz: Peach, Raspberry, Irish Creme, SS mix, Marlette, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Cinnamon
Pharaohs: Exotic Peach, Zesty Orange

Starbuzz seems to prioritize the thickness of the smoke over the intensity of the flavor -- I often get the impression that the flavor is somewhat diluted by the amount of glycerin in the tobacco. I wouldn't call it weak, but it definitely seems to be underneath the smoke if that makes any sense.

As for Pharaohs, both flavors are extremely candyish and very vivid -- the flavor, I guess being "on top of" the smoke or being the smoke itself, is much stronger than Starbuzz. That's not to say I prefer one over the other -- they have their different uses. When it comes to mixing with Tangiers Kashmir, I much prefer Starbuzz Peach for it's juicy fruitiness and light weight. When mixing with Tangiers Vanilla, I prefer to use Pharaohs.

Another thing to note is that Pharaohs has much more nicotine than Starbuzz, so the smoke has that weight to it and does pack a buzz.

I have a lot of experience with both. I do admit SB is a great brand, it has its good flavors and bad. If you happen to get a bad flavor, sucks you're out $20... Pharoahs has a lot of good and bad as well, but atleast you didn't blow half your paycheck...

Pharoahs Sex on the Beach for the victory!
